OK guys,

I am considering replacing my chrome, (read bling), front and lower grill with the Supercharged version but as you can see from my picture I also have a chrome mesh lower grill and the 2 would look wrong.

Do you have any thoughts on what I could replace the lower mesh grill as well to be in keeping?

Judging by the first picture, it fits in perfectly (RRS in suburbia!) so save your money.

My TDV8 came with the s'charge grille (and colour coding) which the dealer was most effusive about. I was more worried about the state of the front tyres and whether it had tow electrics... I guess I'm not the usual target market for such things. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Not worried about tyres and essentials as all v good hence som cosmetic changes plus the grill is pitted and tarnished TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

If it was mine Sherlock, I would remove all the chrome additions you have fitted and replace them with colour coded black ones

Current fashion has less bling and more colour coordination... the supercharged (also the standard TDV8) grill you have can be sprayed either totally Java which looks good, or copy what Ady and I have, which is keep the grill silver, and get the surround java'd.

I'm not an HST grill fan (I struggle to like it even when on an HST) so I'd sell it to finance modding your other grill.. RRS gone

Agree with Misery & awd 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I agree with VA, who in turn agrees with Misery and awd man.

Here's an alternative?

Colour coding the HST grill like Sam did?

Here's Ady's car (same as my grill & vents)

I had the SC grill on mine - took it off prior to replacement - used but barely noticable - PM me if interested

I like the SC all black grill personally.

Black could be a little too 'Gangsta' IMHO. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
